“Each of us has things we must do before we die. A meaningful life is one in which you deeply connect to your purpose. A person living life with purpose is a hero who gets up every day with a clear sense of who they are and what they are doing in the world.”

“The good life is not a 24/7 joy ride and it is not an exclusive focus on being happy. Any intelligent and creative person pursuing a rich and meaningful life is going to have periods of anxiety, disappointment, frustration and depression.
If you accept this, you can better overcome these states. Learn coping strategies and have a healthy support network. Suffering is a part of the process of transformation. Attempt to focus on how you are now in the solution.”

“Being poor does not make people homeless, but being very poor where housing is unaffordable does. By expanding the amount of affordable housing in our community we address a central root cause of homelessness.
Only when our community has the amount of affordable housing we need will we come close to ending homelessness.”

“When humans undergo a process of transformation, whether it is a career change, a romantic relationship or a stage of life, we polarize ourselves into hero and demon. The hero is that part of us that says “Yes to life!” that wants to grow and contribute, even if that means descending into hell. Our demon seeks to hold us back and creates the hell we must navigate. As these different aspects of ourselves are reconciled, we move into a new level of consciousness. We receive the reward of the transformation and return to life with a new, more authentic sense of self.”
